A Message From Madonna
April 30th, 2009

The Queen of Pop wants to set the record straight!
And she’s turned to us to do just that!
Madonna just sent Perez a message on his Twitter. We screamed louder than a rabid group of Twilight fans stumbling upon Robert Pattinson at their local bar.
Shooting down reports that she’s agreed to let ex-husband Guy Ritchie take care of their kids for three months this summer while she’s out on tour across Europe, her Madgesty tells Perez:
“what is this rubbish about me dumping my children off for the summer while Im on tour? They go where i go.”
And there you have it!
Madonna talked to us! AGAIN! We still do a happy dance every time!
